Management and staff of the Tobinco Group of Companies have presented food items and medicines to the Motherly Love Foundation Orphanage at Kwabenya in Accra ahead of the Christmas festivities.
Items donated included bags of rice, gallons of oil, cartons of assorted drinks, packets of biscuits, crates of eggs, boxes of tin tomatoes, boxes of Lufart malaria drug, boxes of Kofof cough syrup, and a TV set, among others. The group also donated GHC 10,000 in cash to the orphanage.
The items presented by the Financial Controller for the Tobinco Group of Companies, Mr. Daniel Gyapanin, and other Group heads were received by the head of the Motherly Love Foundation Orphanage, Rev. John Azumah, and one of the orphans, Sandra Johnson Mishiwo.
Speaking on behalf of the Executive Chairman of the Tobinco Group of Companies, Elder Nana Amo Tobbin I, Daniel Gyapanin said that the donation forms part of the company’s corporate social responsibility, adding that they do this annually to support the less privileged in the country.
“Every year, staff and management of Tobinco Group of Companies come together and present food items to orphanages within our community, and this year, we decided on Motherly Love Foundation Orphanage and as such, we have gifted them items such as rice, oil, beans, big television set, and others together with GHC10,000 to enable them to enjoy as we approach Christmas”, he said.
Meanwhile, he used the opportunity to wish all the orphans a merry Christmas and encouraged them not to lose hope in life, but rather to keep pressing forward till they reach their goals. He also urged all stakeholders and other benevolent organizations to support the Motherly Love Foundation Orphanage.
“We are so glad to see these children, though their parents are no more, we know their future is bright… it’s our prayer that God will direct benevolence to come and support these children,” he added.
The Head of Motherly Love Foundation Orphanage, Rev. John Azumah, and one of the senior orphans, Sandra Johnson Mishiwo, expressed gratitude to the Tobinco Group of Companies for the kind gesture and appealed for more in the future.
“We are so privileged to have management from the Tobinco Group of Companies coming to support us with these food items and especially the Lufart malaria drugs. The children in this home are often prone to malaria, so these boxes of medicine will go a long way to helping us. Our hearts are full of gratitude, and as such, we say God bless you,” Rev. Azumah said.
